United States Patent 3,582,505 ION EXCHANGERS FROM POLY(AMINOSTYRENE) AND ETHYLENE IMINE Geert Jan de Jong, Boekelo, Netherlands, assignor to N.V. Octrooien Maatschappij Activit, Amsterdam, Netherlands No Drawing. Filed Oct. 23, 1969, Ser. No. 868,939 Claims priority, application Netherlands, Oct. 24, 1968, 6815256 Int. Cl. C081 27/08 US. Cl. 260-21 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Anion exchangers are prepared from polymers of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons in which primary amino groups have been introduced into the aromatic nuclei by reacting such aminated polymers with ethylene imine. If desired, the thus obtained weakly basic polyamine resin may be quaternarized.
This invention relates generally to the preparation of ion exchangers, and more particularly to the preparation of ion exchangers based on vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons in which amino groups are introduced.
A process is known for preparing anion exchangers containing polyamino groups on a base of copolymer polystyrene divinylbenzene resins, and in which a chloro methyl group is first introduced into the aromatic nuclei of the resin, and then the resulting benzyl chloride groups are converted into substituted benzyl amines 'with the aid of ethylene imine. In such process for introducing amino functions into the resin, the first part of the reaction, that is, the haloalkylation, must be carried out in an organic solvent.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process of preparing anion exchangers containing polyamino groups on a base of a polymer of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons, and in which, starting with such matrix resin, the introduction of amino groups can be carried out entirely in an aqueous medium.
Another object is to provide anion exchangers of the described type which have a particularly high activity.
In accordance with this invention, anion exchangers of particularly high activity are obtained by reacting ethylene imine with the aminated polymers that result from the introduction of amino groups into vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon resins, as by the known method of nitrating the resin and then reducing the nitro groups. If desired, the weakly basic polyamine resin that results from the above may be quaternarized in a known manner.
The polymer matrices employed in the production of anion exchangers according to this invention may be any of those usually used as matrices of ion exchangers. Thus, the starting material of the process according to the invention may be a homogeneous or an inhomogeneous or porous type of polymer which may vary rather broadly as to its density or degree of cross-linking. Among the suitable starting materials are, for example, polystyrene and polymers based on vinylbenzenes having substitutions in their aromatic nuclei of alkyl groups, such as vinylethylbenzenes, vinyl toluene, vinylxylenes and the like, which can be cross-linked in any suitable manner, such as by copolymerisation with divinyl benzene or bisvinyl esters, or by condensation with formaldehyde or with chloro methyl ether.
Preferred starting materials for the process according to this invention are copolymers of styrene or of the above mentioned vinyl benzenes obtained by copolymerisation thereof with polyalkylenic unsaturated compounds "ice such as divinyl benzene, divinyl toluene, trivinyl benzene and the like, with such cross-linking agents being present in the copolymer in amounts of from 0.1 to 25 wt. percent, and even in amounts as high as 50 wt. percent in the case of certain porous polymers.
The aminated polymers that are reacted with ethylene imine to obtain anion exchangers according to this invention should have an average of from 0.5 to 2.0 amino groups introduced per aromatic nucleus. Although any vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon resin having primary amino groups in the benzene nuclei may be reacted with the ethylene imine according to this invention, it is preferred that the introduction of such primary amino groups be effected by nitrating and then reducing the resin matrix.
The above mentioned nitration of the resin matrix can be effected with 50 to nitric acid or with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Where only nitric acid is employed, for example, 6 5% nitric acid, a nitration up to an average of about 1.0 nitro group per aromatic nucleus can be attained. If a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is used to attain a higher degree of nitration, such nitration is preferably carried out in two stages to avoid sulfonation. For example, in a first nitration stage nitric acid alone is employed to achieve approximately mono-nitration, that is, an average of about 1.0 nitro group per aromatic nucleus, and in a second nitration stage further nitration is effected with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, such as a nitrating acid consisting of 2 parts, by volume, of 96% sulfuric acid, and 1 part, by volume, of 90-100% nitric acid.
The reduction of the nitro groups to amino groups can 'be effected in any way known for that purpose, but is preferably carried out in an aqueous medium. Such reduction in an aqueous medium may be effected with the aid of ferrous or stannous salts in aqueous hydrochloric acid, but is preferably effected in aqueous solutions of alkaline or ammonium sulfides or polysulfides so that the resin will be the only compound that is not dissolved. As is known, the reduction is effected in an autoclave at a temperature between and 200 C.
The reaction of ethylene imine with amines is known per se and, in the process according to this invention, the reaction of ethylene imine with the aminated polymer may be effected by any procedure previously employed for such known reaction of ethylene imine with amines.
The course of the reaction can be schematically represented by the following formulae:
In order to obtain products with the highest nitrogen content, it is desirable that the above reactions I and II should go to completion as 'far as is possible and, in any event, care should be exercised to ensure that the selfcondensation reactions III and IV do not use up so much of the ethylene imine as to leave available nucleus-amino groups that are not utilized. If desired, the reaction of ethylene imine with the aminated polymer may be efiected in two stages, that is, in a first stage or step during which reactions I and II are promoted as much as possible, and in a second stage in which the product obtained from the first stage has additional ethylene imine groups attached thereto.
Reactions I and/or II can be promoted by soaking the aminated resin with diluted acid so as to acidify the resin to a pH of about 5.0 before contacting the aminated resin with ethylene imine. The reaction of the aminated resin with ethylene imine can be carried out in an aqueous medium or, if desired, also in the presence of an organic solvent in which the ethylene imine is soluble and the resin is not. As an alternative, the reaction can be conducted in an aqueous medium without a solvent being present. Further, it will be understood that the dry resin can also be reacted with ethylene imine.
The reaction can be conducted at a temperature between and +200 C., and preferably at a tempera- 4 ture between 20 and C. For temperatures above the boiling point of ethylene imine (57 C.), the reaction is carried out in an autoclave under pressure.
In principle, an infinite number of ethylene imine molecules can be reacted with each NH group of the aminated resin according to the above reactions III and IV. As a practical matter, the number of ethylene imine molecules that can be introduced for each NH; group is limited, apart from the reaction conditions, only by steric hindrance and the porosity of the resin. Preferably, at least one ethylene imine molecule is introduced per NH group of the aminated resin. With any particular resin matrix, the capacity of the anion exchanger based thereon is increased in accordance with the number of ethylene imine molecules introduced per NH group of the aminated resin. With known resin matrices, the average number of ethylene imine molecules introduced per NH group of the aminated resin is generally in the range of 0.5 to 5.0, and preferably in the range of 1.0 to 2.5. Such proportions of the ethylene imine molecules to the NH groups in the reaction product can be achieved by carrying out the reaction in an excess of ethylene imine.
The new products obtained by the process according to this invention are weakly basic anion exchangers with a particularly high activity, and can be converted into strongly basic anion exchangers by quaternarisation, for example, with the aid of methyl iodide.
The invention will now be further described with reference to the following examples which are merely illustrative:
EXAMPLE 1 (a) To a mixture of 400 gms. water, 1 gm. gelatine, 1 gm. NaCl and 1 gm. bentonite, at room temperature and without stirring, there were added 41.67 gms. styrene, 8.33 gms. divinyl benzene 60%, 50 gms. hexane and 0.5 gm. benzoylperoxide.
Thereafter, and while stirring, the temperature was raised to 75 C. and during 15 hours the polymerisation was carried out under reflux. After cooling the pearls obtained were filtered, washed with water and dried. The product had a pore volume (measured with alcohol) of 88%.
(b) To 39.5 gms. of the product obtained according to (a) 400 ml. 90% nitric acid was added, and the mixture was kept at a temperature of about 6 C. for 22 hours. Thereafter, nitration was effected with a nitrating acid consisting of 1 part by volume nitric acid and 2 parts by volume 96% sulfuric acid, first during 3 /2 hours at 6 C. and then during 66 hours at 20 C. After filtration and washing, a nitrated resin was obtained with a nitrogen content (based on dry resin) of 12.3% and a dry resin content of 62.03%.
(c) 100 gms. of the product obtained in accordance with (b) with a dry resin content of 62.3% were introduced into a 1 1. glass autoclave provided with a stirrer and a thermometer. A sodium sulfide solution was prepared from a mixture of 80 gms. sulphur powder, 600 gms. Na S.9H O and sufficient water to provide 800 ml. of solution. 500 gms. of this sodium sulfide solution were introduced into the autoclave, whereupon the autoclave was closed and for 7 hours the reaction mixture was kept at a pressure of 7 atm. at -168 C. After cooling, filtering and washing, 115.2 ml. Wet resin was obtained with a dry resin content of 0.4 gm. per ml. and a nitrogen content of 14.5% (based on dry resin).
(d) 40 ml. of the wet resin obtained according to (c) was brought to pH to 4.45 with diluted hydrochloric acid and then dried. Thereafter, 16 ml. ethylene imine was added whereby the temperature increased to 76 C.; after keeping the mixture another 18 hours at room temperature, the resin was filtered and washed. 52 ml. of a wet resin was obtained, containing 23 gms. dry product and having a nitrogen content of 19.82% based on the dry substance.
EXAMPLE 2 (a) The copolymer matrix was prepared in the manner described in step (a) of Example 1, however, in this case, 40 gms. styrene, gms. divinyl benzene and 43 gms. hexane were used, whereby a resin was obtained with a pore volume of 100% (b) 31 gms. of the copolymer obtained according to (a) were added over a period of 2 hours to 400 ml. 90% nitric acid, and then the mixture was kept at about 5 C. for 21 hours. Thereafter, the resin was decanted three times with nitrating acid and then further nitrated for 7 hours at 5 C. followed by hours at room temperature. After washing to remove all acid, 106.09 gms. of resin were obtained having a dry substance content of 45.6% and a nitrogen content of 11.9%
(c) 100 gms. of the product obtained according to (b) were reduced in the manner described in step (c) of Example 1, but in this case with 380 gms. of the sodium sulfide solution in the course of 7 hours whereby, after washing, 116.1 ml. resin was obtained containing 34.25 gms. dry substance with a nitrogen content of 14.5%.
(d) ml. of the resin obtained according to (c) were acidified to a pH 4.5 with diluted hydrochloric acid and taken up in 15 ml. water. Then 15 ml. ethylene imine was added whereby the temperature increased to 30 C. The mixture was kept at 40 C. for 15 hours and, thereafter, it was washed with water. 26.9 ml. product was obtained corresponding to 7.85 gms. dry product with a nitrogen content of 18.7%.
EXAMPLE 3 (a) 234.9 gms. styrene, 8.1 gms. divinyl benzene and 1.4 gms. benzoyl peroxide were added to a mixture of 350 gms. water, 5 gms. metacol, that is, the sodium salt of polyacrylic acid, and 1 gm. tricalcium phosphate at room temperature. After a polymerisation period of 15 hours during which the mixture was stirred and refluxed, the mixture was cooled and a glassy product was filtrated, washed with water and dried.
(b) 120 gms. of the product obtained according to (a) were nitrated in the course of 16 hours with 1200 ml. 90% nitric acid and, thereafter, it was treated with nitrating acid for 16 hours at 8 C. After removal of all acid by washing, 98 gms. of a wet product were obtained, corresponding with 69 gms. dry substance with a nitrogen content of 14%.
(c) 90 gms. of the wet product obtained according to (b) were reduced in the manner described in step (c) of Example 1, but with 275 gms. of the sodium sulfide solu tion whereby 92.8 ml. resin was obtained corresponding to 50.7 gms. dry substance with a nitrogen content of 14%.
(d) 20 ml. water was added to 40 ml. of the product obtained according to (c) after the resin was acidified to pH 5.5 with hydrochloric acid. After adding 36.2 gms. ethylene imine, the mixture was kept at 50 C. for 16.5 hours, whereafter, after washing and drying, a product was obtained with a dry substance content of 55.3% and a nitrogen content of 20%. After treating 31 m1. of this product with 8 gms. ethylene imine in the same manner for another 16.5 hours, 36.4 ml. product was obtained corresponding to 10.43 gms. dry substance w1th a nitrogen content of 21.2%.
The particularly high activity of anion exchangers obtained by the process according to this invention is demonstrated by the following comparative experiments:
The anion exchangers constituted by the polyamine resins produced in Examples 1, 2 and 3 were compared with Imac A 20 and Amberlite I.R.A. 93 which are commercially available non-quaternized anion exchangers obtained by chloromethylation and subsequent amination of styrene-divinyl benzene copolymers.
In the comparison tests, each resin was completely regenerated with NaOH and washed, and then about 25 ml. of the resin was introduced into a column having an internal diameter of 1.2 cm. with the volume and weight of the introduced resin being carefully measured. In the case of each resin, the column was percolated with ml. 1 N HCl and thereafter with ml. of washing water, whereupon the amount of HCl absorbed was determined by titration of the efiluent.
The results of the above comparative tests are given in the table below in which the capacity of each resin in meq./l. appears in column A, the capacity in meqJgm. dry resin appears in column B, and the dry substance content of each resin, in wt. percent, is given in column C.

A's Extra Bases Too Much for Cubs to Overcome at Riverview Park
Christhian Perez tossed four innings of one-hit shutout ball in relief, Robert Martinez hammered an RBI triple and a double and scored a run, Chris Wolfe drilled two RBI singles, and Brett Vertigan smacked a solo home run, leading the Athletics to a 5-2 victory over the Cubs in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #6 at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Rashad Crawford belted an RBI triple and a single, stole a base, and scored a run for the Cubs in a losing cause.
RHPs Trevor Graham and Erick Leal "piggy-backed" for the Cubs and threw a combined 7.2 IP, allowing all five runs (four earned), 10 hits (including two doubles, two triples, and a home run), and two walks, with nine strikeouts.
The way things are playing out so far at EXST, it appears very likely that Graham and Leal will form 2/5 of the Boise starting rotation when the NWL season commences next month, with LHP Tyler Ihrig and RHPs Trevor Clifton and Zak Hermans being other 3/5 (at least until one or two of the better college pitchers selected by the Cubs in next month's First-Year Player Draft get stretched-out to start).
The Cubs have now lost six straight Cactus League EXST games, and after thirty games (halfway through the Cactus League Extended Spring Training schedule), the Cubs record stands at 11-18-1.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1. Jeffrey Baez, RF: 0-2 (L-7, BB, BB, F-7, 2 R)
2. Rashad Crawford, CF: 2-4 (1B, 3B, P-6, K, R, RBI, SB)
3. Oliver Zapata, LF: 0-3 (K, F-9 SF, 1-3, K, RBI)
4. Rony Rodriguez, 1B: 0-2 (F-9, HBP, 5-3, BB, SB)
5. Mark Malave, C: 0-3 (BB, 4-3, P-3, 4-3)
6. Dalfis Ortiz, 2B: 1-4 (K, K, 2B, K)
7. Tyler Alamo, DH: 1-4 (F-9, 4-3, 6-3, 1B)
8. Jesse Hodges, 3B: 0-4 (4-3, K, F-9, K)
9. Bryant Flete, SS: 0-4 (K, 3-U, 4-3, 4-3)
1. Trevor Graham: 4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR, 2/6 GO/FO, 52 pitches (30 strikes)

Hey Phil! Is this team really young or are they just not very good? Kind of wondering what you think? How does the talent level compare to previous seasons?

Ok. Thanks for the insight.

His swing is crazy the more you see it ... Like he's kind of dragging a tree through the strike zone. Big fat bat and hands always seem to be pulling the bat.

it's part of the reason i don't think he'll ever hit for much average, though i expect him to do better than what he's doing right now. i see him as a .250/.330-ish avg/ob% type, but with the upside of playing good D at 3rd and being able to hit 25+ HR. he swings hard and it's not wild, but it's not precise.
you can stick that at 3rd and deal with it until it's time to pay him over $10m a year multi-year (if he ever develops enough talent to become a guy you'd pay that kind of loot, multi-year...he's still got things to prove).
If he learns how to hit, he
If he learns how to hit, he could be something special. I want this kid playing every day, and see what Mueller can do with him. Right now, he seems to always be swinging for the fences. Early in the year he did hit that rather awesome opposite field homer and in that case he seemed to just be going with the pitch. For all we know he's up there hacking because he figures it's the best he can do timing wise until he can see more pitches on an every day basis. It really is sheer idiocy to not have him in there every day. The argument that the other journeymen should be in there, at all, at third, is ludicrous. Why try to get more ABs for guys who are going to get you low level prospects at best?
Yeah. He is 1 behind Rizzo in
Yeah. He is 1 behind Rizzo in HR and also 2nd in RBI on the team. I'd like to see him up there and settling in too ... Maybe he'll always have that caveman hack but I'd like to see if he can relax and go opposite field once in a while too.

weren't his first 2 HR's to right field? I remember one against Pittsburgh at least.
spray chart shows 2 at least (although seems to only show 4 HR's total)
One was not just opposite
One was not just opposite field but it looked like he really went with the pitch to just try to drive it, not necessarily trying to clobber it out of the park. Lots of times he seems to be trying for a home run. That's just inexperience. I think the guy can hit, we just need to see him in there every day to find out for sure.

according to the MLB Network,
according to the MLB Network, ninja is not happy about the front office wanting to talk to him about his pitching (specifically his last appearance, and pitch counts) stating...more or less...that the front office needs to mind it's own business and let himself + the people wearing uniforms worry about that rather than the suits.
According to the local media
According to the local media yesterday, ninja and the front office are on the same page regarding this. Throwing 126 pitches is ok occasionally, but not all the time. He is a well conditioned and experienced athlete, knows the limitations of his body, blah blah blah. Also, if the front office wants to talk to someone, the should start with the fucking manager.
It appears Crawford's bat is
It appears Crawford's bat is coming alive as of late. Maybe it is all coming together for him.
Instead, think of Jon Daniels and the Texas Rangers. Daniels became the general manager of the Rangers in 2005 and soon after rebuilt the team by discarded expensive, older players (Mark Teixeira, Adrian Gonzalez, Chris Young) for younger players (Neftali Feliz, Alvis Andrus, Akinori Otsuka) and the Rangers invested heavily in their farm system.
Teixeira was 27, Gonzalez 23 and Young 27 at times of trade...maybe not the best examples.

Re: Samardzija pitch count
Re: Samardzija pitch count non-issue/actual story
Samardzija tells front office to butt out although says that he actually never heard anything from front office, just maybe something a reporter said. Hoyer says it was never an issue and him and Renteria just said it's something to not do every time out which everyone agreed upon.
Ninja's just touchy that he doesn't have his 9-figure deal yet...
with the way other contracts
with the way other contracts are working out, we may be looking more at something like a 9 year, 10 figure deal

That was good!
Well said. On one hand, I thought the HBP was a bad baseball play -- down 4 runs, put a runner on for a red-hot Fowler. On the other hand, they needed to do something -- I hadn't thought about the warning/pitching inside point. Is Hurdle that smart? He does not strike me that way. By the way -- not clear which fan base you are referring to in your "first" 3rd point.
My unsolicited opinions on topics covered in this thread:
1. I hate the fact that after 162 games, a team could be out after 1 game. However, I think the system is pretty close to perfect right now. 2 of 3 isn't feasible unless they shorten the regular season, and it ices the division winners for way too long. This creates excitement, and rewards the division winners.
Personally, I think the game could have had a very different look had the Pirates held onto the ball and tagged Fowler out on the steal in the first. Cole was clearly frazzled, but if they took that runner off the base, it could have relaxed him a lot.
Football games are played once a week. There are 16 games a year. I'm not even remotely following at all how you can compare the two leagues and playoff systems. It is physically impossible to play a home and away series. The idea of not having any road games in baseball playoffs is certainly a head scratcher.
How is not having the first and last game at home a benefit for the division winners and team with the best record? How is it not an incentive to win the division when a WC team has to blow their top pitcher?
Call me lost.
Two 97+ win teams in a do-or-die, great bullpens, overpowering starters, plenty of pop--hard to believe that game wouldn't be tense. A 4-0 lead is not a blowout, especially in that situation and with the Cubs' young bullpen. Not only would a defensive play here or there make a difference, but you get the win there also on the home plate umps strike zone (generous strike calls for Arrieta, including a couple Ks), and on Schwarber sitting on the right pitch at the right time.
Unbeleivable Dodgers:
I just noticed the Dodger's payroll today. It is just absurd. $300,000,000+!!
Here is where just some of their money is for 2015:
Some "Highlights"
Carl Crawford $20MM
Brandon McCarthy $17MM
Bronson Arroyo $3.5MM
Darwin B $2.2MM
Dan Haren $10MM
Matt Kemp $18MM
Brian Wilson $10MM
Ryan Webb $2.2MM
Dee Gordon $2.5MM
So I think tomorrow will be the most important test of how far we can go. We can win it all with two pitchers since Arietta has shown he can carry over his success to the post season. If Lester can be dominant also then I think we can go far no matter how Hendricks or Hammel do.
And in terms of pitching just went through to see how we could maximize Lester and Arietta and came up with this (Lester would be going on 4 days rest three times and Arietta twice):
i still can't believe that crawford contract (7/142). all that loot and years for a LF'r who's entire hitting game revolves around his legs and line-drive power. those triples that raised his value are deceptive as hell to his true power, but it helped him get paid.
there's also pause about a guy who's ob% is almost totally driven by hits rather than walks. BOS got lucky unloading that crap deal.
I think the Cubs take Berry and Soler off playoff roster and add Hammel & Ramirez. Believe Maddon will find Denorfia & Jackson defense too hard to lose.
O & B: I like the one-game Wild Card heart attack game, but I'd actually like to see a best two-out-of-three LDS played in the home parks of the two division winners with the best records, and then the LCS as a best two-out-of-three in the home park of the division winner left standing with the best record, and then let's get to the World Series already.
I...don't know. If chanting would help the Cubs beat the Cardinals in the next series or ultimately the World Series I think I'd be ok with it lol. I'm not supportive of saying insulting things to opposing fans or throwing things but loud noise and chanting seems appropriate to me.
I also grew up in France though and that kind of thing is par for the course at soccer and rugby matches and I love it. I find crowds too passive here.
Enjoyable read on David Ross.
Er, they won the first one. My bad. Carry on.
With last night's win in Pittsburgh, the Cubs have tied the Pirates with 98 wins, and are only 2-1/2 games behind the Cardinals. No reason why the Cubs can't finish the post-season with the best winning percentage in baseball (regular season & post-season combined).

Most Helpful Girl
I don't really believe in 'soul mates', espeacially there part where there is only one. But I have met a few guys that as soon as I meet them we instantly click and I get really good vibes from them, however I wouldn't say that makes them my 'soul mate'.
As for these guys you were dating, I don't know how long you were with them... but I think in all relationships there comes a point where you've been together a couple years and its time that you either takes things to the next level and get engaged or you go your separate ways. So probably these guys just weren't ready to commit to anyone and they just told you this 'soul mate' stuff as an excuse to end it.

Crime | The burglars who broke into Flea Market Comics in Mobile, Alabama, left the cash register alone but stole $10,000 worth of comics, according to owner Stephen Barrington. The thieves cut three locks off Barrington's storage units and replaced them with a combination lock, presumably so they could come back and get more. "It just left me deflated," he said of the theft. "People would come in just to look at the covers on them because they were such a various period from the '30s to the present and like I said anything on a display; they took." [Fox 10 TV]

I have an existing application developed for Windows Phone 7, which uses CameraCaptureTask.
The captured image is returned back to the app, which will be processed for grayscale conversion.
While testing the same app (same binary to be precise) in Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920, I figured that a copy of all the images captured through the CameraCaptureTask are saved in "camera roll" folder.
This is a bit annoying as the users of my app are not expecting the captured images crowding the "camera roll" folder. I looked up the documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394006(v=vs.105).aspx and found the below quote,
On Windows Phone 8, if the user accepts a photo taken with the camera capture task, the photo is automatically saved to the phone's camera roll. On previous versions of Windows Phone, the photo is not automatically saved.
So far I couldn't find a way to avoid this case in Windows Phone 8.
Is there a way to turn off this feature before calling the CameraCaptureTask's Show() method in Windows Phone 8?

Cancelled Travelodge and booked this instead, glad I did !
Found this room at the last minute and so glad we did it was much better than travelodge, great night's sleep, if pressed hard, the only complaint would be the decoration of the room could be refurbished.
Even when the band struck up in the pub, with our door and windows shut we could not hear it, (no reflecction on the band!) ramp access so would be suitable for disabled within reason. Very satisfied customers. Will stay again soon.

Deluxe room in need of a coat of Dulux!
We booked this room for a night over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The room was extremely basic and in need of modernisation. There were cobwebs in the bedroom and the bathroom did not appear very clean. Our bed was massive but did comprise of two singles pushed together. The main pub was extremely noisy late into the night and there was no one to feedback to or leave the keys with when we checked out.
In summary....an expensive room with no breakfast included, however we did not let it spoil our weekend in Sunny Suffolk.

Would use again
Room was large and had lovely view over water meadow , yes it was in a car park behind the pub but as we were out till late this didn't bother us .
By midnight all was quite . Nice touches like little bottles of shampoo etc put out for use and plenty of and coffee with kettle etc. bed was huge clean and warm and spare pillows available . Down side room is tired , and despite clear no smoking signs did smell of smoke ( but I'm a none smoker ) the lightning wasn't so great it was hard to see in mirror and the bathroom was very basic but all in all the room was fine for what we wanted ie somewhere to sleep after being out with friends in Sudbury . Best thing was relaxed vacating time . 12 on a Sunday wow so great to have the chance of a lay in thank you to the staff we met who were all friendly and accommodating . Would definitely use again

This may seem strange, but this area of California has, apparently, a curfew. It was explained to me that it has something to do with events that involve liquor licenses, so the reception was over at 10:00 pm. I prefer an early end to evening events, to tell the truth.

Morro Bay
... a super rich magnate who owned a lot of land, over a few generations, the castle and grounds just kept growing and growing. The castle was just a bit expensive for us to pay the entry to, so we just drove up as far a we could to get a look. We did see Hearst's zebra herd as we were driving out. Classic case of man with too much money and not enough to do with it.
Last day on the road before we're settled for a while!

Peabody's Interiors, a premier Wisconsin interior design studio that has been in business since 1977, is planning to relocate their operations from Whitefish Bay to 8655 North Deerwood Drive.
Peabody's employs a staff of 16, including six full time interior designers.
Peabody's will open in a building that is currently home to Wade Weissmann Architecture. The two firms have a strong working relationship and have partnered on many projects in the past.
"The ability to work closely with Wade Weissmann Architecture allows our clients the opportunity to have architectural and interior design services available under the same roof," Kelly Gallion, Peabody's Managing Director, said in a news release.
Village Manager, Russell Van Gompel, is pleased that Peabody's Interiors is moving to Brown Deer.
"Peabody's move to the Deerwood Drive location continues a positive trend of reinvestment in Brown Deer's historic Original Village neighborhood, the earliest settlement location in the Village," he said.
Peabody's intends to open its design studio and showroom by May 1. Hours of operation are scheduled to be Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I had a chance conversation with one of my neighbors recently where one of them casually mentioned that they have never bought anything online. Ever. That gave both my wife and I some pause. Not that we are big shoppers, on or offline: but we both think of online shopping as a natural extension of what we do, like breathing. We even know people who buy furniture online, which I think a bit risky.
Against this backdrop, there are yet another round of eWallet innovations that are destined to make the mistakes of the past. There are multiple solutions, usually involving your smartphone and a payment provider, such as the recent announcement from Visa and Samsung. Then there was the deal between Starbucks and Square so you could pay for your lattes by tapping your phone near the register at checkout.
A lot of this activity is motivated by having more near field communications on our phones, meaning we don't need physical contact to conduct a transaction. While that is very sci-fi, it isn't going to motivate people like my neighbor to start conducting ecommerce. Let's go to the video tape of the past botched plays.
I dredged up an op/ed piece that I wrote 14 years ago for Computerworld where I concluded, "If you have a Web storefront, steer clear of e-wallets for now. Let your customers pay you as easily and as quickly as possible." That advice still holds true today.
To set the context for this piece, you need to know that Microsoft had its eWallet software as part of Windows 98, and during the latter part of the 1990s there were probably a dozen or so vendors who were developing Internet payment schemes of one sort or another. Only Paypal survives from this era, and ironically they had their origins as a piece of software that was used on Palm Pilots to beam payment information using their built-in infrared technology. Many of us consider the contact manager on the Palm still better than anything we have today, but that is a fight that I will leave for another day.
So what happened to all those payment companies? They made several mistakes.
First was the chicken-and-egg of non-universal coverage and too many "standards." I wrote back then: "Imagine going shopping at a physical mall store and getting ready to pay, only to find out that the store accepts one obscure credit card issued by a single bank in Tuvalu. How long do you think that store would stay in business?" Exactly. All these vendors need to get around one solution, and do it quickly. Imagine how long credit cards would have lasted if you needed separate machines to scan your Visa, Mastercard, and Amex at the checkout line.
Second is that credit/debit cards just work too well. We all have them, we all carry them with us at all times, and we all know how to shop with them. Trying to compete with this universal solution is madness. Indeed, they have largely replaced the need for actual cash. I remember when my dad wouldn't leave home without several hundred dollars in his wallet. Even when I travel, I rarely have more than $20 or $40 in mine, and usually a lot less. Everyone takes plastic nowadays.
Next, I don't want to manage yet another cache of cash. It is bad enough that Paypal exists, and that I have to track what is in my account and how quickly I can get any dollars in or out of it when I am buying or selling something. Why do I need yet another account to manage?
The last straw is that I usually need a specific piece of software, browser version, or phone. Check out what you need for the Google Wallet: "an NFC enabled Android device with a Secure Element chip running the most recent Android operating system." That isn't a very long list of phones, none of which I currently own. We tried this before and the number of variations means that almost always you don't have the right mix of things to access your eWallet some of the time. See my remark about Tuvalu above. And note the roll call of failed Internet payments companies of the past too.
So our phones may have gotten smarter with all sorts of new protocols and wireless radios, but ultimately the real gating factor in having the carbon life forms suffer through using them, same today as back in 1999. It is not too late to learn from the past.And maybe sometime soon my neighbor will feel confident enough to buy something online.

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data? In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, will look at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to...

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Choice, ownership and responsibility
Liu, Xiaofei
Metadata[+] Show full item record
My dissertation is to answer these two questions: "Does moral responsibility require choice?" and "If not, what does it require?" Classic accounts of moral responsibility, such as libertarian accounts, assume a volition condition - we are not morally responsible for a behavior unless we have directly or indirectly chosen it. I call this view volitionism. Non-volitionism, on the other hand, claims that no such choice is necessary for moral responsibility. I propose and defend a non-volitionist account of moral responsibility. I first argue against volitionism by comparing a paradigm case of choice with some typical cases of non-choice mental activities and showing that no responsibility-generating power can be found uniquely in choice. Then, I examine some current non-volitionist accounts and argue that they all face a serious challenge - the Problem of Brain Manipulation. Finally, based on what I call the normative Strawsonian framework, I propose a non-volitionist account of moral responsibility that meets this challenge. According to my account, moral responsibility for a behavior requires that, roughly, the behavior be caused by a certain evaluative attitude or judgment of which the agent can claim deep ownership.

I've talked before about making my own stocks either from vegetable scraps or from chicken/turkey bones. It's way cheaper than buying stock at the store (hello, $2.50 a carton!) and it's better for you. Unfortunately, lately I've not been able to make enough stock to keep us supplied and so I've found myself buying more and more cartons of vegetable stock. Today, however, I saw this article by Mark Bittman about creating stocks from all sorts of things! These are quick "stocks" too, like 5-15 minute stocks, but they add flavor and that's really all that matters. I love the simplicity of the herb and garlic stock, the mushroom one, and even the prosciutto (ham at our house) and parmesan one. I still always have vegetable scraps in the freezer, so if I added those to a handful of parsley (which is very cheap) and garlic, I could create a nicely flavored stock for a soup base or even for cooking rice or beans, in 15 minutes or less!
I will definitely be utlizing Mark's ideas here and I hope you do to. To beef up these stocks, anytime you peel carrots or chop the ends off of onions, put those scraps in a zip top bag in your freezer. Add asparagus ends, mushroom bits, even garlic if you just used a whole clove for flavoring something and then plan to just toss it. Celery leaves are a great addition too, but don't add too many or they could make your broth bitter. Experiment! Good luck!0 comments

RETARDED GAME!!😬😬 The stupid thing keep saying" unfortunately kids car has stopped "when I just wanted to get a game my little brother could play😬. This is also a new tablet got it 'bout 2weeks ago so its not the device. STUPID RETARDED GAME!!!!!!!!!!😬😬😬
Simple but good Kids love this app but there are a few features that could be more user friendly. 1- We are unsure of how to get the sirens going. We've done it accidentally before but don't know how to do it again. 2- The larger vehicles block the lower wheels & paint making them hard to select.
This app worked great on my previous phone. I recently switched to Samsung Galaxy S5 and installed this app. Every time I try to start up the app it fails. I emailed support and received no response. I'll gladly change my rating if support helps with my problem.
Simple harmless ad-free fun. I get bored with this fairly quickly, but it isn't for me, it's for my two year old and he cant get enough! Importantly, there are no adverts or clickable links to get in the way.
Kids Cars Kids loved it but now it won't load. "Unfortunately it has stopped " forever? Can we report this and have it fixed?
